On my car (UK Version) there are three fluid tanks. The big one on the left has two large bore pumps fitted. One pump supplies the headlamp wash/wipe system while the other supplies the fog lamps. On the drivers side there are two containers. The small one on the top is detachable from the lower one by pushing it fully forward. The small one is for concentrated washer fluid only and the large one supplies the windscreen washers. There are two seperate pumps, one for each bottle. The headlight washer pump only works when the headlights are on and they don't work all the time. When you pull the switch, put your finger on the pumps to see which ones are working. If they are all ok, I suggest you look for a kinked pipe or a blocked water jet. Hope this helps.

My washer fluid tank down by the foglamp is empty. The big one on top and the little one next to it are full. The pumps seem to be working but no fluid squirts out. Hoses are all connected. Is fluid pumped from the top to the lower tank...or what. Sure like this board....Sure like this car!

Thanks,
